Here are the improvements I did:
- I cleaned up the "crash into brick wall" mistake in Egypt's Great Pyramid.
- I avoided the "invisible statue" power-up and 2 more Krusty heads in Egypt's Valley of the Kings. However, I still had to avoid and/or get rid of the dirt devils; they were still in my way for the most part.
- I cleaned up the "unnecessary ladder-climbing" mistake in Hollywood's pirate ship (Soundstage 1) and took a shortcut that also saved much time.
-
The biggest improvement of all lies in the RIP wall section of Hollywood's "Crematory" (Soundstage 2). Based on the previous movie where Bart was able to jump onto a certain platform that was hard to reach, it was basically somewhat made up of stage layout patterns. I was able to have Bart achieve this goal three times which strictly served as a shortcut and saved a heap of time!
There was a glitch I found in North Pole's Frozen River stage. It is where after Bart lands on side of an iceberg, the game warps him to the other side! Call this a program error worth abusing if the player is good at it. All I did was just show it one time; it does take practice!
As soon as I gave the last hit to Erich Von Burns to end the game and the movie, Bart takes damage from Burns' last green cone! And that sucked. That can be almost similar to having klmz take a hit immediately after finishing the first boss in
Journey to Silius. =/ I tell ya, some games will do that to ya. Wow...
And one more thing that I think is without a doubt the most sickest and most twisted part of the movie. In fact, this should bring a little more entertainment. In the first part of Hollywood's "Crematory", Bart takes damage by shoving his head into a hopping statue! It is seen where the statue placed its hands on Bart's neck, but you can't see his head from underneath!
Okay, so to summon things up, this game can now be beat in under 10 minutes and the improvement from my last run is 57 seconds! Be sure to have a clean ROM before you hit the emulators. Enjoy! =) Thanx to all, and good night. ;)
"It's Wayne's World! Wayne's World! Same as Rocky! And Bullwinkle! Another legacy! $hitted on! Tough to beat! Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo..."
Yes, in fact this is just like Rocky and Bullwinkle. The thing is that there is no extra speed given in this game among Bullwinkle's Horn Charge in the other, so hold on to the constant walking button and don't stop for anything! Also, it takes even more luck manipulation since Garth has a zap gun while Wayne doesn't. Furthermore, the game will not let you switch between Wayne and Garth, and that's bogus. =/ I'll work on this game soon. =)
Listen, people... it takes longer to wear down your opponent for a 3-count than it would take to throw him out of the ring and try to win by count-out. So winning all matches by count-out will be my strategy for this game. Now I can also play matches long enough to achieve full strength and execute finishing moves like HHH's Pedigree, the Stone Cold Stunner, or even the Tombstone Piledriver, but I won't waste frames by doing that.
So to put this in the shortest detail possible: strategy and luck manipulation are the only ways of getting through this game quickly. And it will all end with Vince McMahon saying "...you son of a b*..." Finally, a nice credit-roll. =)
